IMPROVEMENT 1N COMBINED now, canrrrva'rorc,l Alm MARKER The Schedulereferred to in these Letters Patent -and making part ofthe lame:

l To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN DooLnY, -of St. Pauhin the county of Ramsey,and State of Minnesota, have inventeda new andvaliiable Improvement inCombined Plow, Cultivator, and Marker; and I do hereby declare that thefollowingis a full, clear, and exact description of the construction andoperation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure J, of the drawings, is a top-plan view of my dcvice. l

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view ofthe same.

Figure 3 are details.

My invention relates to' agricultural implements; and

It consists, mainly, in constructing and arranging,

.in a novel manner, devices susceptible .of use either as a plow,cultivator, or marker of rows, to be planted adjustable, at will. Y

The letter A, of the drawings, replesents aplowbeam, and the letter B, amarker arranged thereon, as shown.

This marker is constructed in sections, the sectionv ay being pivoted'to the section c, and arranged for folding inward at will, asrepresented on iig. 1:

The nethod of attaching thesections b to the plowheznn 'sshown on iig.3.

My object in constructing the'marker i-n sections;

the outer ones of which may be folded'on the inner, is to enable theoperator to make either two or four rows at the same time, as he maydesire.

To each side of the front standard of the plow, I aflx bands, withsuitable openings or staples therein,

`throuffh which I ass ins as shown at i' on 1.

"lhe oiiice of these staples and pins is to provide means forattachingeither cultivatorsor'douhle plowshares, as the operator may see fit.

'Ihe blackli11es,1na1'ked n on fig. 1, represent double plowshares,adjusted to said pins by the pins t', that pass through staples .at thefront ends thereof, and the red lines on said figure representoultivators adjusted to the saule pin .by the`same or similar means,after the plowshares are removed. Thesevcultivators are marked s. v

-I make a slot in the rear standard of the plow, and place ltherein anadjustable'nut and screw. I also construct small perforated rods, oneend of which are hinged respectively to the inside of one vof thecultifvators -or plowshares,as the case may be, and the 3. Theperforated bar is marked c.

v'.lhe red lines on iig. 2 represent the form in which mycultivators'are constructed.

- 'Ihe arrangement herein described enables the operator to change theimplement from aplow to a culti,

vator, and ci e Aversa. It also enables him to use-or dispense wti themarker, as he may desire, and mark either two 'or four rows therewith.Finally, it enables him t'o pfow or cultivate at any desirable depth,and

operate the plowshares or'cultivators at any desirable distance apartfrom each other.

` What I' claim as my invention, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent,s- I l. Anyadjustable plow, cultivator, ,and marker, having cultivatorss, plowshare n., and marker B, constructed'and arranged substantially asand for the purposes specified. i

2. In combination with an adjustable plow and cultivator, nut and screwH, when working in the slotted standard, as described, and theperforated rods o, arranged aud operating substantially as and for thepurposes specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name,in thc presence of two-witnesses.

Y JOHN DOOLEY.
